Our main character wants to get stronger, even though at any point in any episode we are told he's already like monster. Episode after episode we are told he is strong, he advanced and overcomes hurdles and yet you don't get any of that from actually watching the fights. Every episode there's someone stronger and by the time you realize there are like 50 strongest people between the most strongest and second strongest. It's a mess and you really don't get a sense of scale. Sadly you rarely see him training or doing anything that can be cleverly reincorporated later. There are no techniques or knowledge he gains throughout. Every fight starts with him getting beaten and standing up again and again and again until somehow the opponent loses. It's repetitive and painful to watch.
Am not talking about art and style since the show is pretty old at this point. It's okay but it certainly doesn't stand out from others from same period. Choreography on the other hand is not good. Certainly better than slide shows we got with Fist of the North Star. Here things are at least animated, but sometimes they look as if they are cheating with physics.
Overall, give it a 3-4 episodes if you like the premise. That would give you the idea of what's to come. It doesn't get better, just more of the same. I watched 16 episodes out of boredom and nothing else to watch, but it became too boring to continue. Definitely not a show for binge watching.
